10:48 pm
gusty winds ahead in my forecast. i also have a warmup. that will be coming later in the week. but let's begin now with a lock at our temperatures. our highs today were not very much up there at all. some 13 to 14 degrees below the seasonal average. we hit 32 degrees at reagan national airport. 30 at dulles and only 29 at bwi sir good marshall. right now, it is chilly. we have 30 degrees at d.c., 31 at quantico. the same at fredericksburg. 27 at baltimore. that's the same at hagerstown. so let's take a lock at radar and let's see what is happening right now. not a lot being picked up here. what we had was very light snow flurries that skirted its way through quickly. a lot of you started to see it sticking around on untreated surfaces. on your cars as well, and we had a report from annapolis that they had seen quite a bit of coating of the snowfall there as well in columbia and
10:49 pm
in the district and as well in bethesda. some of our neighborhoods dealing with it. we'll have to see this continuing into the course of the next day or so and the beginning of the week because of the series of low pressure systems that are quickly moving their way across from the northern plains and heading through to the east. so, let's go back to our weather maps. be careful out there, especially on the untreated surfaces. the temperatures playing a big role. mainly below seasonal here and a lot of areas below freezing as well. take a look at this really big dip here in the jet stream and this colder air is pushing its way down. we have teens here as well. we aren't alone with the cold weather. and we expect to see the cold conditions sticking around, at least for a few more days. out to the west, we have a winter weather advisory in effect. snowfall accumulation anywhere from 4 to 8 inches. along the allegheny front and 1 to 2 inches. this is in effect until 6:00 a.m. on sunday. the winds are going to pick up sunday night as well.
10:50 pm
so we'll see gusty situation there. especially into the mountains. so, we have these clippers that continue to move their way through and a series of them that will continue to do so. so we'll have to deal with this snowfall. as we take a look at what we are expecting, because i do anticipate more of this happening in the morning hours. a little more tomorrow afternoon. we're looking at a coating. so less than an inch of accumulation overall. but the ulations, as i showed you, two areas of the west. in the meantime, tomorrow 36 degrees. by the time we hit noon. we'll see the winds pick up a little bit. our high only into the upper 30s. 27 degrees for your overnight low. light snow showers, and tomorrow the snow again. 37 degrees with a westerly wind. and then get ready for the big game. in new orleans, if we were only there. 57 to 58 degrees under mostly sunny skies. think about it, we waited a long time to get some snow. here's a look at your fox 5 seven-day forecast. we'll get a break on monday
10:51 pm
with partly sunny skies and on monday night, another clipper system comes through. another round of the white snow showers, of course, and that's going to linger through into tuesday. monday is the day when we'll have gusty winds, so we'll have windchills that will be significant by the time we hit wednesday into the end of the week, we start to get back to seasonal temperatures into the 40s. >> thanks, gwen. >> super bowl height certainly upon us right now as fans look forward to the big game tomorrow, the party, and the good food. >> they are also excited about the super bowl ads. ashley has a first look at sunday night's commercial. >> super bowl xlvii isn't just a showdown between the two best teams in football, it's a showdown between advertisers. >> this year, the super bowl spots are going between $3.8 million and $4 million. $4 is a record. this is a big stage and allows them to get a huge audience to get their message out.
